Chapter 470: You can't have both fish and bear's paws [Repair] [6.5K]

In other words, this year's summer file should be the busiest schedule for Zhouyi Film and Television.

Therefore, this time, Zhou Yizu has three movies to participate in this year's summer file war.

Among them, in addition to Zhao Liying and Zhou Dongyu's "July and Ansheng", which is more literary, Gao Fei's "To Our Dying Youth" and "Chinese Partner" all operate according to the standard commercial film model.

So during this time, Zhou Yi's publicity team was almost so busy that they didn't even have time to eat, so they didn't pull their hips at this critical time.

However, although the movie is ready to be released, there is one thing that Goofy has to participate in.

That is the preview screening of "Chinese Partner"!

is different from "To Our Dying Youth", after all, the main control of "Chinese Partner" was taken over by Zhou Yi from China Film, so it is still necessary to listen to the opinions of China Film before the release.

It's just that this test screening was a little unexpected for Gao Fei.

When Gao Fei saw Yu Minhong and his party walking behind Han Sanpin, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing this situation, Han Sanpin laughed and said:

"After all, the script template is them, and now that the movie is about to be released, we have to ask someone to see what we say!"

Seeing him say this, Gao Fei immediately couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, that's right."

After talking and laughing with Han Sanpin, Gao Fei stepped forward and said hello to a few with a smile.

By the way, in addition to the three original founders of New Oriental, I don't know how Yan Yan, a partner of Softbank SAIF Fund, also followed.

But everyone who came was a guest, so Gao Fei didn't say anything, and even brought everyone to Zhou Yi's small screening hall.

However, out of trust in Chen Kexin and Zhou Yi behind the scenes, Gao Fei has actually watched a finished film for the first time since the completion of "Chinese Partner".

Therefore, when everyone sat down, Gao Fei, like Wang Qiang, Xu Xiaoping, and Yu Minhong, was very curious about what Chen Kexin made "Chinese Partner" look like.

As the big screen slowly lit up, there was soon silence in the screening room.

……

Soon, two hours passed.

When the lights in the screening room came on again, everyone who was still immersed in the plot suddenly had different expressions on their faces.

First of all, Wang Qiang and Xu Xiaoping, who were once members of the "New Oriental Big Three", smiled at the corners of their mouths at the moment and nodded frequently, obviously appreciating this film.

Xu Xiaoping, who is more romantic and casual, smiled and sighed:

"Youthful and in its prime...... Thinking about what we looked like in the past, it seems that we really have to serve the old! ”

It's just that Yu Minhong, who is a member of the core of the prototype of the three characters, has a serious face at the moment, obviously not very happy.

Yan Yan, who came with him, couldn't help but shake his head and complained:

"This character's personality is too wrong, where did Lao Yu have such a wretched bag when he was young?"

I have to, after all, I am still an old friend, and I said Yu Minhong's heart in one word.

It's just that in the face of Wang Qiang and Xu Xiaoping's praise, Yu Minhong hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything, just turned around and left.

Seeing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but look at Han Sanpin in surprise.

Lao Han was also a little embarrassed at the moment, after all, before the film started filming, Yu Minhong, Wang Qiang, and Xu Xiaoping agreed to the project "Chinese Partner" because they believed him.

Otherwise, if one of the three of them doesn't nod, the project won't be filmed.

Thinking of this, Han Sanpin glanced at Chen Kexin, and suddenly couldn't help but say helplessly:

"Director Chen, you're really going to give me a problem!"

Hearing this, Chen Kexin looked a little helpless in embarrassment, so she couldn't help but say:

"Mr. Han, I really didn't mean it."

"Besides, the scale of this kind of biographical film is inherently difficult to grasp."

"If I had satisfied Mr. Yu just now, I'm afraid the audience would not be satisfied."

It is precisely for this reason that Chen Kexin will put forward three requirements after the next project:

Do not accept any investment related to New Oriental;

do not have direct contact with Yu Minhong, Wang Qiang, Xu Xiaoping archetypal characters;

We will not confirm the shooting news with relevant people of New Oriental.

To put it simply, it is a secondary creation based on text materials.

In Chen Kexin's words, that is, "people can never be objective when they see themselves".

Therefore, Chen Kexin thinks that if he directly uses the subjective narrative of Yu Minhong and the three to build the foundation of the movie, then he is serving New Oriental, which is equivalent to taking this book to Yu Minhong for approval.

And this is what Chen Kexin is unwilling to do.

After all, he didn't make this film to praise Yu Minhong, but just wanted to tell a more interesting youth story through the movie.

Seeing him say this, Gao Fei nodded approvingly.

You must know that whether it is Hollywood or China, biographical movies are a rather troublesome subject.

When "Pirates of Silicon Valley" was released, Jobs and Gates were quite annoyed.

As for the release of "The Social Network" a few years ago, Zuckerberg wanted to sue the director and producer.

It can only be said that most of the entrepreneurs who have been made into movies have serious discomfort with their own biographical films.

Of course, it is not without exceptions.

For example, in 2002, Haier funded the filming of a biographical film "CEO" by founder Zhang Ruimin.

Zhang Ruimin, who was the prototype of the character at that time, recognized this movie very much.

But after the release of this film, the flat and straightforward plot and monotonous characters made the audience want to sleep.

So this film naturally hit the street in the end.

So what Chen Kexin said just now was actually not wrong at all.

Biopic films seem to always have a conflict between archetype and director.

Most of the good-looking movies make the character prototype dissatisfied, but the movie that the prototype is satisfied with often makes the audience very dissatisfied.

It can only be said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and you must choose one of the two.

Therefore, whether it is from a personal point of view or from the company's point of view, Gao Fei must help Chen Kexin speak.

"Mr. Han, Director Chen, this is also for the good of the movie."

"Zhou Yi has also done a survey here, and most of the interviewees said that if New Oriental interferes too much, then the movie will definitely not be interesting."

"It can be said that the audience interferes too much with the character archetypes in the movie, and they all have different degrees of resistance."

Seeing that Gao Fei said this, Han Sanpin could only sigh helplessly.

There's no way, who let this project be initiated by him in the first place, and he naturally has to take the blame.

However, thinking that his family will retire next year, Han Sanpin immediately felt that this matter was not a big deal.

Anyway, Zhongying will not be under his control in the future, and if there is any mess, let the latecomers clean it up.

But to be honest, as early as the beginning of the project of "Chinese Partner", Han Sanpin actually took this aspect into account.

After all, the living are not good to judge;

Those who are dead cannot bear to judge;

Prestigious people are especially indisputable.

Everyone is smart, so they are afraid of offending people.

If it weren't for that, Han Sanpin wouldn't have found a director from Xiangjiang to direct this project.

Therefore, what Lao Han actually wants is the current effect.

I have to say, the old ghost Han Sanpin, this sentence is really not wrong at all.

Of course, there is one point that Han Sanpin still misses.

Because he didn't expect Yu Minhong to be so repulsive to Cheng Dongqing's film and television image.

If he had known this, he would not have personally brought Yu Minhong over to participate in the test screening.

Han Sanpin couldn't help but sigh again in his heart, feeling that he was really self-inflicted this time.

Thinking of this, Lao Han didn't have the interest to stay any longer, and turned around and left after a few simple greetings with Gao Fei.

However, compared with Yu Minhong, who broke up unhappily, Wang Qiang and Xu Xiaoping were quite interested in this film, and wanted to ask Gao Fei for some useless shooting materials.

Well, other characters can be not, and it is better to give as much as holly has.

Looking at the excited appearance of the two, Gao Fei immediately shook his head with a smile.

It seems that these two are still a little worried about leaving New Oriental!

So it's no wonder that the attitude of the two just now was diametrically opposed to Yu Minhong.

Zhou Yi didn't let these two down in the end!

However, Goofy did not take the shooting materials with them now, but planned to wait until the movie was released before handing them over.

After all, to save face, the necessary precautions are still required.

And after the group of people left, Han Li couldn't help but ask with some concern:

"Boss, there won't be any problems with the movie, right? Will the propaganda continue? ”

Hearing this, Gao Fei suddenly glared at her angrily.

"What stupid are you talking about? Of course it continued! ”

To put it mildly, at this time, unless it is directly forbidden to be released, even Han Sanpin will unceremoniously push back when he opens his mouth.

You must know that Zhou Yi has already invested tens of millions of dollars on this project, at this time, do you say you will not let it go?

What about the money? Do you pay for it?

And even if Yu Minhong is willing to bear the cost of the movie, Gao Fei will not agree to take back the film.

After all, there is still expected profit in it!

For Goofy at the moment, as long as he doesn't make the expected profit, he loses money.

From this point of view, Goofy is now a qualified capitalist.

……

And just when Zhou Yi was intensively preparing for the release of "Chinese Partner", the communication between Han Sanpin and Yu Minhong finally came to fruition.

I don't know what Lao Han said, anyway, in the end, Yu Minhong didn't say that she wanted to withdraw the film.

It's just that when Han Li received the news and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Yu Minhong publicly stated against "Chinese Partner" on her neck:

"Before the film was finished, I had never met Chen Kexin or any actors."

"I don't know what this film has to do with New Oriental, and of course I didn't participate in the investment."

"Xu Xiaoping and I mentioned this movie, but I firmly oppose putting New Oriental on the screen."

"So, now and in the future, this movie has nothing to do with me!"

After saying this, Yu Minhong did not accept any interviews from the outside world.

However, after Xu Xiaoping heard the news, he quickly sent a message on his scarf in response.

"Thank you, I don't have a review of this movie, but please don't take a seat."

When Gao Fei saw this line of words on his neck, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Nima, don't you want to take a seat yet?

Before saying this, please take a look at the messages you sent earlier, okay?

Almost all of them are stills of Meng Xiaojun!

If it weren't for Meng Xiaojun, played by Deng Chao, who was tall, handsome and charismatic, would you be so calm?

Thinking of this, Gao Fei was suddenly a little powerless to complain about Xu Xiaoping's selective blindness.

However, Gao Fei has nothing to say, but netizens have too much to say.

So before the summer vacation began, "Chinese Partner" took the lead in occupying the front page headlines of major entertainment media.

This made the other producers of this year's summer file feel Alexander.

After all, there is no doubt that Zhouyi's volume is the NO.1 of private companies.

So seeing it so menacing now, the crews can't help but be a little worried.

It's just that Han Li didn't bother to pay attention to what others thought, and was still promoting the publicity and distribution step by step.

As for Goofy, it's been the busiest time of the year!

There's no way, who let him have two movies released this summer, and they all starred him.

But then again, Goofy doesn't need to be so tired at all.

You must know that Wang Zhongjun would sleep until about 11 o'clock almost every day.

When I arrived at the company, I usually just asked someone to drink tea and chat, and then I started to have lunch.

After the lunch break, we started drinking tea and chatting again, and in the evening, we held an internal team building party.

But even so, in those years, the Huayi brothers were still thriving in China.

It can be seen that at least in the film and television industry, it is actually too easy for CEOs to want to be idle.

In fact, this is the daily life of billionaires.

By the way, Gao Fei remembered that not long ago, Wanda broke the news about Wang Jianlin's one-day itinerary.

At that time, when the schedule was uploaded to the Internet, it caused a lot of waves.

Many netizens couldn't help but sigh after watching it, and the big guy is not easy to be!

After all, if you just look at the time on the schedule, Wang Jianlin's day is worse than that of a worker:

24 hours a day, fly to two countries, arrive in three cities, and sign a 50 billion contract.

Finally, I had to go back to the 25th floor of the Beijing company at 7 o'clock in the evening and didn't go home until 10 o'clock in the evening.

Working up to 15 hours a day, working out, having meetings, eating, and the itinerary is accurate to the minute.

Even according to insiders, this is not Wang Jianlin's itinerary for a certain day.

He's working like crazy almost every day.

And this kind of work habit has been adhered to for more than 30 years since he started his business.

Hehe~ I have to say that insiders on the Internet are really everywhere!

It's just a matter of listening to the so-called internal revelations, and if you really believe it, it's really naΓ―ve.

In fact, what reporters and the media did not report was that Wang Jianlin did not live a trapeze with such a high intensity several times a year.

Because there is no need for him to work at such an intense intensity all year round.

Otherwise, why would he spend so much money to support so many employees? Why do you raise so many executives?

If this does happen one day, there are only two possibilities:

Either there's something wrong with Vanda, or there's something wrong with him!

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Wanda is too big now, Gao Fei believes that Wang Jianlin would probably prefer to hide in the dark and make a fortune instead of standing in front of the camera and showing his head.

In the same way, if Goofy wants to live so chic, he can actually do it.

It may not be the same as the average person thinks.

Many big bosses, CEOs, and so-called business leaders are not as busy as they imagined in their daily lives.

After all, if they are still living like cattle and horses after they are rich, why should they work so hard to climb up in the first place?

So this propaganda is essentially a paradox.

In fact, the higher you go in this society, the more important choices will be more and more important than diligence.

This is why Wang Zhonglei only needs to work for two hours, drink tea, and chat, but Huayi can still develop well.

Because he just needs to make the right decision.

As for how to operate and execute, there will naturally be other executives in charge.

If they can't do it, then change to someone who can do it, anyway, the company will not spend such a high annual salary in vain!

In fact, this question is easy to understand as long as you think about it.

After all, affluence and comfort are always companion words.

If one day the public has a completely different view of this, then it can only mean that capital has succeeded.

Because the bosses just want the following group of cattle and horses to believe:

As long as you work hard, one day you will become a human being like him!

As a result, the migrant workers who were beaten with chicken blood suddenly seemed to have found a direction in life.

began all kinds of involution, infighting, and even self-PUA.

It seems that as long as this is the case, they can reach the top of their lives like their bosses.

But what they don't know is that no matter how much they do in the fill-in-the-blank questions, they still have zero points in the multiple-choice section after all!

……

……

The next morning, on the 8th floor of Zhouyi Building.

"Boss, the monitoring of the public relations department has noticed that the crew of "Little Times" has frequently mentioned you during the announcement recently."

"At present, we judge that LeTV's publicity strategy should be to bind you and touch porcelain!"

"Binding? Touching porcelain? What does this have to do with me?

Gao Fei was immediately stunned by Han Li's words.

After all, he and the little giant had never even met, so what kind of porcelain did he touch?

Hearing this, Han Li immediately shook her head helplessly and said:

"Although you don't have a half-dime relationship with them, who let them pull it!"

"Isn't it all like this now, as long as it's shameless enough, there's no relationship that can't be done."

After that, Han Li put a consolidated analysis report in front of Gao Fei.

"Because that Director Guo used to write female frequency, just like you, and now he is a director across industries, so they insist on talking about this topic."

"Basically, every time they promote it, there will be reporters who take the initiative to talk about the topic of cross-border directors."

"So every time that little giant of 1.4 meters will make fun of you and talk about worshipping you."

"Now you are about to become a supernumerary member of "Little Times", although you have never been there, but every press conference has your legend!"

Speaking of this, even Han Li couldn't help but laugh.

After all, there are really few people who are shameless to this extent!

However, although this method is a little shameless, I have to say that the method is still very effective.

If they are allowed to promote it like this, maybe it will really make the audience who don't know the truth subconsciously associate Goofy's two movies with "Little Times" in their minds.

At that time, although Director Guo gave up face, he made money.

It's just that although their calculations are good, they disgust Goofy.

Nima, others don't know that he doesn't know?

The sexual orientation of that one-meter-four little giant is not a secret to some people in the circle.

Therefore, after briefly flipping through the documents, Gao Fei threw the analysis report aside with a disgusted face.

The thought that he might be put together with the little giant suddenly gave Goofy goosebumps all over his body.

So Gao Fei immediately sneered without smiling:

"Okay, since LeTV doesn't follow the rules, then don't give him face!"

"They don't want heat, okay, I'll give him heat!"

Yes, in the face of this kind of rogue trick of touching porcelain, it is indeed inconvenient for Gao Fei to deny it directly.

After all, no matter what he says, he is actually helping to increase the popularity of "Little Times".

Even the longer you get stuck in this topic, the deeper you end up entangled.

That's why Goofy didn't bother to play a game of debate with them.

With that energy, wouldn't it be good for him to flip the table directly?

Thinking of this, Gao Fei immediately resolutely ordered Han Li.

And after listening to Gao Fei's method, Han Li couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the writer and director.

You say it's not good for you to provoke anyone, why did you provoke him?

But despite thinking like this, Han Li didn't show any mercy when she started it.

So before night, a verdict began to circulate on the Internet.

I have to say that Goofy is really revenge not overnight.

I only received the news in the morning, and I was stabbed in the afternoon.

Tsk ~ this is a pie...... That's so cool!

……

It's just that Gao Fei is cool, but the crew of "Little Times" is cloudy.

Especially the writer and director who is very careful, his face is even more gloomy at the moment.

Because the verdict circulating on the Internet was simply a stab in his death hole.

Why?

Because as early as May 2006, the final judgment of the Beijing High Court found that his "How Much Do You Know About the Flowers in Your Dreams" plagiarized the writer Zhuang Yu's work "Inside and Outside the Circle".

According to the judgment of the court at that time, he compensated Zhuang Yu for economic losses of 200,000 yuan, as well as 10,000 yuan for mental damages, and stopped selling "How Much Do You Know About the Flowers in Your Dreams".

But the last public apology has been dragged out and not implemented.

Even sophistry under the guise of not wanting to disappoint his fans!

To be honest, this shameless reason is really up to him to come up with.

After all, you don't want to disappoint your fans, so don't plagiarize!

After copying it, you will say this sentence again, is it a little shameless?

Feelings are in you, it's not you who disappoints fans, but the victim of plagiarism?

Alas! I don't know where he learned this little fairy theory.

Anyway, after Gao Fei read the information, he was really shocked for a while!

No way, this strange creature is really alive for a long time.

But then again, his shameless approach can only bully the victim and be unable to publicize it.

After all, if the court's verdict had not been disseminated by the media, not many ordinary people would have known about it.

But who let him meet a kind person like Goofy!

So in just five hours, if Zhou Yi's publicity resources are converted into money, it is estimated that they are enough to buy a Ferrari.

But the effect is also leveraged.

Under Han Li's operation, it is almost unknown to everyone on the Internet.

Even more than a dozen print media outlets that cooperated with Zhou Yiyou began to report the news.

Anyway, Goofy has one meaning:

No matter what method you use, anyway, you just need to nail the little man and the word "Little Times" and plagiarism together.

Even though Gao Feiming knew that the book "Little Times" did not involve a plagiarism lawsuit, he still let Han Li do it.

After all, who made that guy disgust him!

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that the wicked have their own wicked grinding!
